Space Struggle After becoming a concubine, I just want to farm

Chapter 235 Gunpowder
Emperor Qinglong was also surprised after hearing this: "Ruyi, are you sure?"

"Take out a little bit, put it in an open place and try it, but the lead must be long." Ruyi wanted these people to see the power of black powder, and was really afraid that these people would kill themselves.

"Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. The Ministry of Industry has tested it twice. It just burned the flowers, but it doesn't have such power."

Although the person who led the way was shocked that Ruyi could reveal the raw materials, after all, he had already tested it twice and it was not as shocking as the empress said.

"Did the first two times simply mix charcoal, sulfur and nitrate in a relatively loose state?" Ruyi continued to ask.

"Yes."

"This time, does the saltpeter account for more than half, leaving some sulfur and charcoal? It has also been compressed and is no longer loose."

In fact, Ruyi wanted to directly say whether it was 70.00% saltpeter, 15.00% sulfur, and [-]% charcoal, but they didn't think they could understand it, and the Ministry of Industry probably didn't have such a precise ratio at the moment.

"Yes."

"Okay, let's do the test as Concubine Xi said, and be careful." Emperor Qinglong must have believed in Ruyi.

The result really made everyone sweat. Even Emperor Qinglong was still shaking in his heart on the carriage back.

Unexpectedly, in the experiment just now, such a small piece has such power. If a torch ignites the pile in the basement, wouldn't it be more terrifying than an earthquake?

The carriage was very quiet, and the old emperor was still worried. Fortunately, Ruyi accompanied him, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

But Ruyi was extremely entangled. Forgetting the repeating crossbow, it was still just a cold weapon. What to do when the black powder appeared.

I remember that last time, Ruyi specifically tested Xiaotian, and Xiaotian made it clear that this kind of thing should not be allowed to appear early, as it would greatly deviate from the historical process.

But what to do now, even without their own suggestions and Oda's guidance, these people from the Ministry of Industry have already studied it. Although it is still preliminary, if they continue to study it and combine the repeating crossbow with gunpowder like a gun, That's not the end.

Emperor Qinglong had already calmed down, "Ruyi, don't worry, I have asked the people underground to be more careful."

"Your Majesty, what do you think of today's events?" Ruyi wanted to hear the emperor's opinion.

"Hahaha, although I admit that I was scared to death today, but this black gunpowder is indeed extraordinary. From now on, Qingguo will no longer have any problems in expanding its territory."

Emperor Qinglong was of course happy. There is no need to explain how important the increase in combat power is to a country.

After hearing this, Ruyi was even more confused. It was indeed a good thing for Qingguo to become stronger, but would it be a step too far and a step too big?

And what would happen if Oda knew about it? After all, it came to this time and space to correct history. Although it gave many people's livelihood improvement seeds, cement and other prescriptions, it also said that these were things that Empress Yan would have done in the official history. Yes, it just progressed a little, so that the people of Qing State could spend the extremely cold weather more smoothly.

Ruyi admitted that the previous preparations were already in his knowledge base. Although he would be behind some time without Xiaotian, he would definitely recommend cement, glass, etc., including corn, sweet potatoes, etc. if he had the opportunity.

This time is different, partly because the weapons are different from the others, but partly because the gun shouldn't be there at all.If the time and space thief hadn't taken it out, Emperor Qinglong wouldn't have had the chance to see it, let alone let the Ministry of Industry study it all these years.

"Are you tired?" The old emperor touched Ruyi's forehead, fearing that she might have a fever after being frightened.

"It's okay. Let's go back to the palace first. We've been out all day today." Ruyi hasn't figured out what to do yet, so she will delay it for a few days to let herself think about it.

Hearing Xiao Ruyi's words, he felt weak, so Emperor Qinglong ordered the carriage to hurry up.

Ruyi didn't stop her. She really wanted to go back and hug the two little ones to calm herself down. What's going on?
If people at this time really mastered the technology of making gunpowder and gunpowder weapons, and gunpowder weapons such as poisonous cupping jars, artillery, and thunderbolts really appeared in ancient times at this time, the entire current combat method would have changed drastically. of change.

Will this lead to more terrible historical deviations?

Ruyi doesn't dare to think deeply, don't panic, don't panic, go back and discuss with Xiaotian, you can always find a way to solve it.
